Living with "Memories"

About This Movie

Living with 'Memories' feels like an intimate journey into a painful yet necessary recollection of history. The documentary takes us inside the House of Sharing, where women share their haunting testimonies as former 'comfort women.' It's raw and unfiltered, grounding the viewer in the emotional weight of their stories. The second part introduces Kang Deok-yeong, whose paintings serve as a poignant bridge between trauma and expression. There's a certain reverence in how the film unfolds, allowing moments of silence and reflection that resonate deeply. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, encouraging viewers to absorb the gravity of each testimony. It’s distinctive in its approach, not shying away from discomfort but rather inviting us to confront it head-on.
